We study the Wigner function for massive spin-1/2 fermions in electromagnetic fields. The Wigner function is analytically solved in five cases when electromagnetic fields are constants. For a general space-time dependent field configuration, we use the method of semi-classical expansion and solved the Wigner function at linear order in the Planck's constant. At the same order, we obtained a generalized Boltzmann equation for particle distribution, and a generalized BMT equation for spin polarization. Using the Wigner function, we calculated some physical quantities in a thermal equilibrium system.
